According to Latino Review, Ernie Hudson is being considered for the roll of King T’Chaka in the upcoming Black Panther film. T’Chaka is the ruler of Wakanda, and father of T’Challa, also known as the Black Panther.
In the comics, T’Chaka is killed by physicist Ulysses Klaw, who will be played by Andy Serkis in the upcoming Avengers: Age of Ultron, so it looks as though Marvel is already setting up the Phase Three films.
As Hudson is an actor that has given Film Dumpster the time of day (and a good Ghostbusters 3 scoop), we’re all for this casting.
